This Blog deals with Soul/Psychiatry Issues. Some quake at the word Soul because of negative religious experiences. If you can put that aside, today Soul is thought to be an energetic part of ourselves. Also, you can always substitute the word “Psyche,” which sounds more in keeping with Conventional Culture and Medicine. The main point is that there is much more to us than our conscious “rational” mind. Also, we don’t grasp that “mind” organ too well, either. We do know it’s good to keep it open.
